Nick Reiner and the Slayer Statute, the Commonwealth Rests Against Lindsay Clancy, Opening Statements for Tupac, Murdaugh Changes Counties
A Los Angeles County grand jury has indicted Nick Reiner on two counts of first-degree murder in the December 2025 stabbing deaths of his parents, filmmaker Rob Reiner, 78, and photographer Michele Singer Reiner, 70, adding special circumstance allegations of multiple murder and murder by lying in wait — allegations that make the case death-penalty eligible. Reiner, 32, has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent; District Attorney Nathan Hochman's office has not said whether it will seek death. Separately, the fiduciary overseeing a $1.5 million trust his parents opened for him has invoked California's slayer statute to block his access, which he sought in order to rehire private counsel. Also: in Plymouth, Massachusetts, Judge William Sullivan told jurors the Commonwealth would rest its case against Lindsay Clancy after roughly three weeks and some seventy witnesses; the defense case, built on postpartum psychosis, is next. In Las Vegas, opening statements began in the murder trial of Duane Davis in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur. And in South Carolina, Judge Debra McCaslin ruled Alex Murdaugh's April 2027 retrial cannot be held anywhere in the 14th Judicial Circuit, with a new venue to be set later.Join our new FB groups page here.

Lindsay Clancy Trial: 'Medication Stole My Motherhood,' Luigi Mangione Moves to Kill the State Case, Tupac Trial Opening Statements
Prosecutors in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial showed jurors notes and search history from her devices, including a note created in December 2022 and last modified January 23, 2023 — the day before she killed her three children — reading, "Medication stole my motherhood and my life." State police also testified she searched "can you treat a sociopath" days before the killings. On cross-examination, defense attorney Kevin Reddington established that an earlier search for suicide methods came from her then-husband's tablet while she was out of the house, and walked jurors through searches for hallucinations and intrusive thoughts that the state had not highlighted. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, and argues she was not criminally responsible. The Commonwealth is close to resting. Also: after pleading guilty Friday to two federal stalking counts, Luigi Mangione moved to dismiss the New York murder case on double jeopardy grounds; the Manhattan District Attorney's office is opposing. And in Las Vegas, opening statements begin in the murder trial of Duane Davis in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur.Join our new FB groups page here.

Luigi Mangione Pleads Guilty in Federal Court, Then Moves to Dismiss the New York Murder Case
Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty Friday morning in Manhattan federal court to two counts of stalking resulting in death in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. There was no plea agreement and no agreed sentencing range. Reading a statement to U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett, Mangione said he shot Thompson and that he knew what he was doing was illegal; his attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo said he has accepted full responsibility for Thompson's death. Members of Thompson's family, including his mother, sat in the front row alongside UnitedHealthcare executives. Garnett found Mangione fully competent to plead and told him he faces a maximum of life in prison, that he would serve at least 85 percent of any term, and that a state sentence could be added to it. U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald said prosecutors intend to seek the maximum. Within the hour, Mangione's lawyers moved to dismiss the New York murder case on double jeopardy grounds, arguing dual prosecutions arising from the same event violate his rights. That state trial is set for September 8. Sentencing is December 18.Join our new FB groups page here. Take the poll!Join the Daily Crime & Justice community on social media!

Lindsay Clancy Trial: the Courtroom Cleared Twice, Luigi Mangione's Surprise Federal Hearing, Tiffany Haddish Pleads Guilty to DUI
Jurors in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial saw autopsy photographs of Cora, 5, and Dawson, 3, on Wednesday, and the courtroom was cleared twice as Clancy sobbed at the defense table. Two medical examiners testified about all three children; defense attorney Kevin Reddington asked no questions on cross. Earlier that day, Reddington drew out a State Police investigator's testimony that colleagues had discussed a theory that a defense-retained psychologist prompted Clancy to tell her then-husband she heard voices — and got the witness to confirm he never overheard the conversation and that there was no investigative basis for it. A counselor also testified that Clancy was referred to a Rhode Island postpartum program in December 2022. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder and contests criminal responsibility. Also: Luigi Mangione is due before U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett Friday for a conference both sides requested without stating a purpose, amid reporting that federal plea talks are underway. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to federal and state charges in the 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. And Tiffany Haddish pleaded guilty to DUI less safe in Fayette County, Georgia, four and a half years after her arrest.Join our new FB groups page here.

Lindsay Clancy's Nurse Raised Bipolar Six Weeks Before the Killings, Jury Selection Continues in the Tupac Trial, Gotti's Grandson Reports
A psychiatric nurse practitioner testified that she raised the possibility of an underlying bipolar disorder with Lindsay Clancy and her then-husband on December 6, 2022 — about seven weeks before Clancy killed the couple's three children. Rebecca Jollotta, of South Shore Hospital's perinatal behavioral health program, cited Clancy's insomnia without tiredness and her adverse reactions to antidepressants, but testified Clancy's symptoms did not fully meet the diagnostic criteria at the time. Clancy has since been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Jollotta also testified Clancy scored 23 on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale in November 2022, and that Clancy never indicated a plan to harm herself or her children. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, and contests criminal responsibility. Judge William Sullivan also declined for now to let a former McLean Hospital social worker testify about conditions at the facility, telling the courtroom the trial "is not Tripadvisor." Also: jury selection continues in Las Vegas in the Tupac Shakur murder trial, with opening statements expected Monday. And John Gotti's grandson Carmine Agnello surrendered to federal prison after a judge denied a third delay tied to a kidney donation that never happened.Join our new FB groups page here.

Jury Selection Begins in Tupac Shakur's Murder Trial, the Clancy Defense Finally Gets Its Doctors, a Kidney Deadline Runs Out
Jury selection began Monday in Las Vegas in the murder trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis, 63, the only person ever charged in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur. Davis has pleaded not guilty to one count of murder with a deadly weapon with a gang enhancement; prosecutors do not allege he fired the shots, but that he orchestrated the drive-by in retaliation for an assault on his nephew hours earlier. The case rests heavily on Davis's own 2019 memoir and prior interviews. Judge Carli Kierny is presiding; jurors are expected to begin hearing evidence August 17. Also: in Plymouth, Massachusetts, Judge William Sullivan reversed a pretrial ruling and will allow Lindsay Clancy's defense to call two medical experts on the injuries she sustained going out a second-story window — evidence that answers the Commonwealth's suggestion that her suicide attempt was not genuine. Clancy has pleaded not guilty and contests criminal responsibility in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. And on Long Island, a federal judge denied John Gotti's grandson Carmine Agnello a third delay of his prison surrender in a $1.1 million pandemic-loan fraud case, after months of postponements tied to a planned kidney donation to his mother.Join our new FB groups page here.

Lindsay Clancy's Psychiatrist Cross-Examined, 14 Telemedicine Visits and Never in the Same Room, Sarah Boone's 13th Lawyer Won't File
Kevin Reddington cross-examined Dr. Jennifer Tufts on Monday, day ten of Lindsay Clancy's murder trial in Plymouth Superior Court. Tufts, the psychiatrist who treated Clancy from September 2022 through the day before the killings, testified that all fourteen of their appointments were by telemedicine and that she had never met Clancy in person until the trial. Reddington questioned her experience level, her online biography, her medication decisions, and what she knew of Clancy's care elsewhere. Tufts also confirmed she is a defendant in the medical malpractice suits Lindsay and Patrick Clancy have filed. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the January 2023 deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan; she does not dispute causing their deaths and argues she was not criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis. Also: in Florida, Sarah Boone is serving life without parole for the second-degree murder of Jorge Torres Jr., who died inside a zipped suitcase in 2020. Her appeal, docketed in Florida's Sixth District Court of Appeal, is now with her thirteenth attorney, who has written that he will not file a reply brief or request oral argument.Join our new FB groups page here.

Lindsay Clancy's Judge Just Got Reversed, Latarsha Sanders's Conviction Vacated, a 78-Year-Old Killed Waiting for a Bus
On Thursday the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts vacated the first-degree murder convictions of Latarsha Sanders, who stabbed her two young sons — Edson "Marlon" Brito, 8, and La'son Brito, 5 — to death in Brockton in 2018. The court held that excluding thousands of pages of her psychiatric records, documenting a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia, was prejudicial error on the sole question before the jury: criminal responsibility. The trial judge was William Sullivan — the same judge now presiding over Lindsay Clancy's murder trial in Plymouth, where the identical question is being litigated. The Plymouth County District Attorney's office says it is reviewing the opinion. In week three of the Clancy trial, prosecutors called the family's nanny, the children's pediatrician and preschool teachers, a family friend and Clancy's former father-in-law, all describing a devoted mother — the Commonwealth's argument being that a functioning woman was making decisions, not experiencing psychosis. Clancy has pleaded not guilty and does not dispute causing the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. Judge Sullivan has taken under advisement whether the defense may call three medical experts. Also: in East St. Louis, Illinois, a 15-year-old has been charged with first-degree murder in the stabbing of 78-year-old John Wesley Allen Sr., who was waiting for a bus. Prosecutors have moved to transfer the case to adult court.Join our new FB groups page here. Take the poll!Join the Daily Crime & Justice community on social media!

Lindsay Clancy's Nanny Testifies for the Prosecution, Rosa Kramer Went Home for Her Mother's Bowl, Gerhardt Konig Wants a New Trial
Prosecutors in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial called the family's former nanny, who told jurors Clancy was a devoted mother and described Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months — testimony the Commonwealth is using to argue Clancy was organized, oriented and in command of her household. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the January 2023 deaths at their Duxbury, Massachusetts home and argues she was not criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis. Jurors also heard DNA and toxicology evidence, and the state was expected to call the medical examiner's office. Also: in Pensacola, Florida, Timothy Kramer, 53, is on trial for first-degree premeditated murder and aggravated animal cruelty in the July 2024 shooting death of his estranged wife, Rosa Maria Kramer, 47, who had left him two weeks earlier and returned to collect her belongings. He has pleaded not guilty; his defense concedes he fired the shots and argues self-defense. And in Honolulu, Gerhardt Konig — convicted in April of attempted manslaughter in the cliffside attack on his wife, Arielle Konig — is seeking a new trial, arguing the jury misunderstood its instructions.

Lindsay Clancy's Defense Concedes the State's Evidence, a Death Sentence in Theresa Green's Killing, Russian Roulette in Cincinnati
On the seventh day of testimony in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial, defense attorney Kevin Reddington told Judge William Sullivan on the record that the defense is not contesting the Commonwealth's case-in-chief, stipulating to chain of custody on the blood, DNA and physical evidence — a move that could shorten the trial and narrows it to the single question of criminal responsibility. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the January 2023 deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, in Duxbury, Massachusetts, and argues she was suffering postpartum psychosis. Prosecutors called crime lab, hospital and toxicology witnesses this week. Also: in Orlando, Judge Lisa T. Munyon sentenced Demorris Andy Hunter, 59, to death for the 2002 murder of his neighbor Theresa Ann Green, 38, following a unanimous jury recommendation; the sentence goes to the Florida Supreme Court on automatic review. And in Cincinnati, Omarion Horne, 23, was sentenced to 10 to 14½ years for the involuntary manslaughter of 23-year-old Rachel Counts, who was shot during what prosecutors described as a game of Russian roulette. Counts's parents told the court they forgive him.Join our new FB groups page here. Take the poll!Join the Daily Crime & Justice community on social media!

Lindsay Clancy's Own Journal Read by Both Sides, Timothy Busfield's Bid to Toss His Indictment, a Psychologist on Chris Watts
Jurors in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial heard her private journals read aloud Monday, with State Police and the Commonwealth using them to argue she was oriented and self-monitoring, and defense attorney Kevin Reddington reading from the same pages to argue she was a woman asking for help. Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the January 2023 deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, at their Duxbury, Massachusetts home; she does not dispute causing their deaths and contests criminal responsibility. Jurors also heard from a Brigham and Women's forensic psychiatrist who evaluated Clancy two days after the killings. Also: actor and director Timothy Busfield goes before a New Mexico judge August 25 on a motion to quash the Bernalillo County indictment charging him with four counts of criminal sexual contact of a child under 13. Busfield has pleaded not guilty, denies the allegations, and is presumed innocent; his lawyers argue the grand jury proceeding was improperly conducted. And a look back at the 2018 Watts family murders in Frederick, Colorado, and one forensic psychologist's framework for what drove them — with a clear line between explaining a man and excusing him.Join our new FB groups page here.

Nancy Guthrie's Ransom Notes Released, Three ER Doctors Testify in the Clancy Trial, 21 Days Searching for London Thomas
Six months after 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was taken from her Tucson-area home, the Pima County Sheriff's Department and the FBI Phoenix Field Office released the full text of two ransom notes sent to Tucson CBS affiliate KOLD — the first on February 2, addressed to her daughter, Today anchor Savannah Guthrie, demanding $4 million in bitcoin; the second on February 6, claiming she had died shortly after being taken and was "buried in nature." Investigators say the notes share a distinctive linguistic style they hope someone will recognize. No suspect has been named and the notes' authenticity has not been confirmed. Also: jurors in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial heard three Beth Israel Deaconess Plymouth emergency physicians describe treating Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, after the January 2023 strangulations in Duxbury, Massachusetts. Clancy has pleaded not guilty and contests criminal responsibility. And in Wayne County, Michigan, Jalen Pendergrass was sentenced Friday to 25 to 50 years for the second-degree murder of his 17-year-old ex-girlfriend, London Thomas, whose body was found sealed in a plastic bin 21 days after she disappeared.

Life Without Parole for Colt Gray, 15 Years for the Father Who Bought the Rifle, the Clancy Jury Walks the House
Colin Gray, the father of Apalachee High School shooter Colt Gray, was sentenced Thursday, July 30, to 15 years in prison — two days after Barrow County Superior Court Judge Nicholas Primm gave his 16-year-old son life without the possibility of parole. Colin Gray, 55, was convicted in March on 27 counts, including second-degree murder in the deaths of students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both 14, and involuntary manslaughter in the deaths of teachers Richard "Ricky" Aspinwall, 39, and Cristina Irimie, 53. He is the first parent in the country convicted of murder over a school shooting carried out by his child. Prosecutors sought 80 years; the defense asked for 10; his attorney says he will appeal. Also: in Plymouth, Massachusetts, jurors in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial heard from ten first responders Thursday before touring the Duxbury home Friday. Clancy has pleaded not guilty and contests criminal responsibility.

Lindsay Clancy Trial: the Jury Tours the House, Nick Reiner Disciplined in Jail, Mayra Velasquez Out on Bond in the Chavez Cold Case
Jurors in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial visited the Duxbury, Massachusetts home Friday where her three children died in January 2023 — a court-ordered jury view Judge William Sullivan permitted over the objection of the couple who now own the property. Clancy, 35, attended in a wheelchair. She has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. Her defense does not dispute that she caused their deaths and argues lack of criminal responsibility due to postpartum psychosis. Also: People reported, citing anonymous sources, that Nick Reiner was disciplined in April at a Los Angeles jail following an argument with deputies. Reiner, 32, has pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder in the December 2025 deaths of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, and has not been tried; the Sheriff's Department has not confirmed the report and the District Attorney's office declined to comment. And in Texas, Mayra Velasquez, 42, a real estate agent charged with capital murder in the 2012 stabbing death of Irasema Chavez, was released on $450,000 bond after investigative genetic genealogy linked crime-scene DNA to her. Her attorneys say the conclusion is wrong. All three are presumed innocent.Join our new FB groups page here. Take the poll!Join the Daily Crime & Justice community on social media!

Bryan Kohberger Moves to Withdraw His Guilty Plea, Lindsay Clancy Trial: the 911 Call, Luciano Frattolin on Trial in Melina's Death
Bryan Kohberger, who pleaded guilty in July 2025 to murdering four University of Idaho students, filed a handwritten petition for post-conviction relief Monday in Ada County District Court, asking to withdraw the plea and get a trial. Representing himself, Kohberger alleges ineffective assistance of counsel and says he was convinced to falsely confess. Those allegations are untested and unanswered; his plea and sentence — four consecutive life terms without parole, plus ten years — currently stand. The family of Kaylee Goncalves, killed alongside Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, said he wants another chance to roll the dice. Also: in Plymouth, Massachusetts, jurors in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial heard the 911 call Patrick Clancy made after finding Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, at their Duxbury home in January 2023. Judge William Sullivan barred media from recording or reproducing it. Clancy has pleaded not guilty and argues lack of criminal responsibility due to postpartum psychosis. And in Elizabethtown, New York, Luciano Frattolin's trial continues in the death of his nine-year-old daughter, Melina Frattolin, whose mother, Kali Galanis, testified Tuesday that Melina had not wanted to travel with her father.

'One of Her Best Days': Patrick Clancy Testifies, the Man Who Slept in the House of the Woman He Killed, 'Bring a Gun' at a Walmart
Lindsay Clancy's murder trial opened Monday, July 27, in Plymouth Superior Court, with her ex-husband Patrick Clancy as the Commonwealth's first witness. Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the January 24, 2023 deaths of her children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months — at the family's Duxbury, Massachusetts home. She does not dispute that she caused their deaths; the contested question is criminal responsibility. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington argues postpartum psychosis; Assistant District Attorney Shanan Buckingham told jurors Clancy acted deliberately. Judge William Sullivan is presiding, and Patrick Clancy's testimony resumes Wednesday. Also: in Meigs County, Ohio, Samuel Hochstetler, 19, pleaded guilty July 24 to aggravated murder in the March 12, 2025 killing of 28-year-old schoolteacher Rosanna Kinsinger, and was sentenced by Judge Linda Warner to life with parole eligibility after 25 years — remaining counts were dismissed under the plea and were never proven at trial. And in Las Vegas, Raqiya Smith, 25, and Ameea Blue, 30, are charged after a July 21 fight outside a Boulder Highway Walmart; police say Smith called her husband, Travis Dewayne Ward, 35, and told him to bring a gun. Ward shot Kwame Swain, 28, inside the store and was killed by LVMPD Officer Cristobal Magana outside. All charged parties are presumed innocent.Join our new FB groups page here.

D4vd Preliminary Hearing: The Evidence Against David Anthony Burke in Celeste Rivas Hernandez's Killing, the Apalachee Sentencing.
A three-case roundup. In Los Angeles, David Anthony Burke — the singer known as D4vd — completed a week of preliminary-hearing testimony in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose body was found in a vehicle at a Hollywood tow yard in September 2025, a year after she was reported missing. Burke has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14, and unlawful mutilation of human remains; prosecutors laid out physical, digital, and financial evidence, the defense attacked the investigation, and Judge Charlaine Olmedo will decide whether the case goes to trial. The DA has not said whether he'll seek the death penalty. In Winder, Georgia, the sentencing of Colt Gray, 16 — who pleaded guilty to all 55 counts in the September 2024 Apalachee High School shooting that killed teachers Richard Aspinwall and Cristina Irimie and 14-year-olds Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo — continued, as investigators testified about a notebook of advance planning that contradicts Gray's claim to police that the shooting was spontaneous; Judge Nicholas Primm will choose between life with or without parole. And in Fort Myers, Florida, Zachary Latham, 24 — acquitted in 2020 of killing a neighbor in a viral TikTok feud — was sentenced as a habitual violent felony offender to 12 years for the attempted kidnapping and strangulation of a woman who ended their relationship, plus witness tampering. This episode discusses child sexual abuse, a school shooting, and strangulation.

Colt Gray Pleads Guilty to All 55 Counts in the Apalachee High School Shooting, a Mother Who Hid Her Son Behind a Wall Gets Life, and a Didd
A three-case roundup. In Winder, Georgia, 16-year-old Colt Gray pleaded guilty to all 55 counts, including four counts of malice murder, for the September 2024 shooting at Apalachee High School that killed teachers Richard Aspinwall and Cristina Irimie and 14-year-olds Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, and injured nine others. The plea was non-negotiated; Gray faces a minimum of life, and Judge Nicholas Primm alone will decide parole eligibility at a sentencing hearing that began this week. Prosecutors showed a notebook in which Gray had mapped a classroom and planned the attack in advance, contradicting his earlier claim it was spontaneous; survivors and victims' families delivered impact statements. His father, Colin Gray, was convicted of second-degree murder in March for providing the rifle. In Gulfport, Mississippi, Jerri Roby, 69, was sentenced to life after pleading guilty to first-degree murder in the death of her 42-year-old son, John Gaither, whom she shot and concealed behind a wall she built, then impersonated for weeks; a judge cited hardware-store purchases made before the killing as evidence of premeditation, and Roby had a prior murder conviction. And Sean Combs, whose federal case this show first covered, was reportedly placed in solitary confinement at Fort Dix after a fight with another inmate; the Bureau of Prisons has declined to confirm the details.

SUMMER OF FEAR, Part 5: Son of Sam at 73 — the Parole Hearing He Skipped, the Demon Dog He Admitted He Invented, and the Man He Blinded
The finale of the five-part series Summer of Fear. In May, David Berkowitz declined to attend his own parole hearing — his thirteenth since becoming eligible in 2002 — and emailed the New York Post to say he is already free, and that his home is in heaven, not in the Bronx. Robert Violante, who was twenty when Berkowitz shot him in the head and who has almost no sight left, was asked what he made of that, and he answered. Garret Fisher closes the week with the demon dog Berkowitz later admitted he invented, the Carr brothers who both died young, the reporter who spent his life chasing a cult through this case and what he got right about the cowardice of the men who closed it, and the fifteen young people whose names are the only reason any of this is worth saying out loud. Fifty years ago next Wednesday, Donna Lauria was killed in a parked car in the Bronx. Everybody remembers the killer. So on Wednesday, don't.Part 5 of 5. The complete series:Parts 1–5.

SUMMER OF FEAR, Part 4: Stacy Moskowitz, Robert Violante, and the $25 Parking Ticket That Caught Son of Sam
Three hundred detectives. The largest manhunt in the history of New York City. None of it caught him. In Part 4 of the five-part series Summer of Fear: on July 30, 1977, Stacy Moskowitz and Robert Violante, both twenty, go on a first date in Bath Beach, Brooklyn — the one borough nobody was watching, because the police had flooded Queens and the Bronx, and the killer read the papers too. Stacy died. Robert Violante survived, blinded. And what finally ended the largest manhunt in the city's history was a $25 summons for parking too close to a fire hydrant, a forty-nine-year-old woman named Cacilia Davis who was walking her dog and was disbelieved when she called, a detective who thought a name looked out of place on a piece of paper, and a Yonkers police dispatcher who happened to be Sam Carr's daughter. Garret Fisher on the night in Brooklyn, the arrest at 35 Pine Street, and the paperwork that did what three hundred detectives could not.Part 4 of 5.This series discusses gun violence and the deaths of young people.

SUMMER OF FEAR, Part 3: The 1977 New York City Blackout — 25 Hours of Darkness, 1,600 Stores Looted, and Son of Sam Still Out There
In Part 3 of the five-part series Summer of Fear, the killer gets a stage. In late May 1977, a handwritten letter arrives at the New York Daily News addressed to columnist Jimmy Breslin, and when the paper prints it, the name Son of Sam belongs to eight million people. Women across New York cut off their long dark hair by the tens of thousands. The discos empty. Rupert Murdoch's New York Post and the Daily News go to war over a serial killer and sell papers by the million. In Bayside, Queens, seventeen-year-old Judy Placido is sitting in a parked car with twenty-year-old Salvatore Lupo, talking about Son of Sam, when the window blows in — both survive, and Judy will not speak publicly about it for twenty-two years. Then, at 8:37 on the evening of Wednesday, July 13, 1977, lightning strikes a Con Edison substation on the Hudson, and the largest city in America goes dark for twenty-five hours: 1,616 stores damaged, more than a thousand fires, and the largest mass arrest in New York City history. Garret Fisher on the summer the newspapers discovered that terror sells, the night a city tore itself apart in the dark, and why nothing that happened during the blackout belongs to the man in Yonkers.Part 3 of 5.This series discusses gun violence and the deaths of young people.

SUMMER OF FEAR, Part 2: Son of Sam Names Himself — the Ballistics Match, Christine Freund, and Virginia Voskerichian
In Part 2 of the five-part series Summer of Fear, the city finds out. On January 30, 1977, Christine Freund, twenty-six, and her fiancé John Diel leave a screening of Rocky in Forest Hills and never make it to the dance; Christine dies that morning, weeks after their engagement. Thirty-seven days later and half a block away, a nineteen-year-old Barnard College honor student named Virginia Voskerichian is killed walking home from the train with her books in her arms. Then a technician in a police ballistics lab lays two bullets side by side — one from Virginia, one taken from Donna Lauria in the Bronx eight months earlier — and the striations line up. On March 10, 1977, Police Commissioner Michael Codd and Mayor Abraham Beame tell eight million people that one man with one revolver has been hunting them. Six weeks later, on Easter weekend, Valentina Suriani, eighteen, and Alexander Esau, twenty, are shot in a parked car in the Bronx, and a white envelope is found lying in the street beside them. Inside, the killer gives himself a name.

SUMMER OF FEAR, Part 1: Son of Sam and the Bankrupt New York That Let David Berkowitz Start Killing
Fifty years ago this month, New York City was broke, burning, and about to meet the .44 caliber killer. In Part 1 of the five-part series Summer of Fear, Garret Fisher walks into the New York of 1976: a bankrupt city $14 billion in debt, five thousand police officers laid off, a police union handing out a survival pamphlet titled "Welcome to Fear City," the South Bronx going up in insurance fires, and six million people crowding the harbor to watch the tall ships sail in for the Bicentennial. Twenty-five days after those ships sailed, on July 29, 1976, eighteen-year-old EMT Donna Lauria was shot dead in a parked car in Pelham Bay, and Jody Valenti, nineteen, was wounded beside her. Nobody knew a serial killer had started. Over the months that followed, Carl Denaro, Rosemary Keenan, Donna DeMasi, and Joanne Lomino were shot in two more attacks across Queens — and no one connected them, because the precincts didn't talk. This is the story of David Berkowitz, and of the city that wasn't looking.Join our new FB groups page here. Take the poll!Join the Daily Crime & Justice community on social media!

GUILTY: Isaac Apodaca Convicted of First-Degree Murder in Grace Jennings's Sword Killing, Timothy Besaw Gets the Max .
A three-case roundup. In Santa Fe, New Mexico, a jury convicted Isaac Apodaca, 30, of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder in the 2022 death of 21-year-old Grace Jennings, who was killed with a sword in a detached garage after asking to stay the night. Nobody disputed Apodaca swung nothing; his girlfriend Kiara McCulley pleaded guilty and testified that he manipulated her into it over months. Apodaca was remanded into custody; sentencing has not been scheduled, and first-degree murder carries a life sentence in New Mexico. In Saratoga County, New York, Timothy Besaw, 35, was sentenced to 12½ to 25 years — the maximum under his plea — for the death of 69-year-old Walmart employee Michael Bushey, who was struck by Besaw's car after telling him to leave the parking lot and died three weeks later of a blood clot following multiple surgeries. And in Payette, Idaho, Andrea Shaw, 23, charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her 18-month-old twins, had her $2 million bond revoked entirely after requesting a reduction; Judge Kiley Stuchlik cited risk to Shaw's newborn. Shaw has not entered a plea and is presumed innocent; the cause of the twins' deaths remains disputed. This episode discusses the deaths of children.

Isaac Apodaca Sword Trial: Kiara McCulley Testifies She Believed He Was an Archangel, Ryan Cooper Convicted in Lacambria Toomer's Murder
A three-case roundup. In Santa Fe, New Mexico, the murder and conspiracy trial of Isaac Apodaca, 30, neared its end as the state's key witness took the stand: Kiara McCulley, 23, who has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and conspiracy in the 2022 sword killing of 21-year-old Grace Jennings, and who testified under a plea agreement requiring her cooperation. Nobody disputes McCulley swung the sword; prosecutors say Apodaca was the architect who manipulated her into it. Apodaca has pleaded not guilty; his defense argues McCulley was the driver and Apodaca the gullible one. A verdict may have been returned since recording. In Albany, Georgia, a jury deliberated less than an hour before convicting Ryan Cooper, 28, of malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, and concealing the death of another in the 2022 disappearance of Lacambria Toomer, 23, the mother of his child — a case built on phone and GPS data, with no body, no crime scene, and no confession. Toomer has never been found; Cooper has not been sentenced and retains the right to appeal. And in Coral Springs, Florida, prosecutors added neglect and other counts against Joel Kohnert, 44, a Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue lieutenant, and Jennifer Kohnert, 45, who have pleaded not guilty to aggravated child abuse involving their adopted daughter; trial is set for late August. This episode discusses violent death, domestic violence, and the alleged abuse of a child.

Lindsay Clancy Trial Begins Monday: Judge Bars Postpartum-Psychosis Survivors, Patrick Clancy to Testify for the Defense, and Baldoni Fights
A three-case roundup. In Plymouth, Massachusetts, the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy nears, with jury selection set for July 20th. Clancy, 35, has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity in the January 2023 strangulation deaths of her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months; her defense concedes she caused their deaths but argues she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis and not criminally responsible. Judge William Sullivan has barred the defense from calling other women who survived postpartum psychosis (ruling they can't speak to Clancy's state of mind), denied jury sequestration, and plans to seat eighteen jurors. The children's father, Patrick Clancy, is expected to testify for the defense. In New York, the civil battle between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively — which settled in May with no payment or admission after most claims were dismissed on legal grounds — continues over Lively's request for more than $8 million in legal fees; Baldoni's side calls the request excessive. And in North Carolina, an order for arrest was issued for Jen Belichick, daughter-in-law of coach Bill Belichick, after she missed a court date on a speeding citation.

Thomas Stein Sentenced to Life Plus 45 in Kayla Rincon-Miller's Murder, the Bridegan Murder-for-Hire Fight Over the Widow's Phone, and a WD-
A three-case roundup. In Lee County, Florida, eighteen-year-old Thomas Stein was sentenced to life in prison plus 45 years after a jury convicted him of first-degree felony murder in the 2024 shooting death of fifteen-year-old Kayla Rincon-Miller, who was walking to get food with two friends after a movie when prosecutors say Stein and a co-defendant stopped to rob them; because Stein was sixteen at the time, the life sentence carries a review after fifteen years. Whether Stein fired the fatal shot is disputed — he maintains he did not — but Florida's felony murder law does not require it. In Jacksonville, Shanna Gardner and Mario Fernandez Saldana, who have pleaded not guilty in the alleged murder-for-hire killing of Gardner's ex-husband Jared Bridegan, were in court as Gardner's defense sought access to the phone of Bridegan's widow, Kirsten; prosecutors called it a fishing expedition. Trials begin in August. And in Gloucester, Massachusetts, Phyllis Palazzola was indicted on attempted murder and related charges after a longtime friend alleged Palazzola tried to subdue her with a WD-40-soaked rag over an unpaid $180,000 loan; Palazzola has not entered a plea and is due for arraignment July 21st.

Larry Millete Convicted in Maya Millete's Murder, the "Ghost" Sword-Murder Trial of Isaac Apodaca in Grace Jennings's Killing, and a Verdict
A three-case roundup. In San Diego, a jury convicted Larry Millete, 44, of first-degree murder in the death of his wife, Maya Millete, a Chula Vista mother who vanished in January 2021 and whose body has never been found; prosecutors built the case partly on messages Millete allegedly sent to online spellcasters before she disappeared, and jurors convicted in under a day without agreeing on the method of killing. In Santa Fe, New Mexico, the first-degree murder trial of Isaac Apodaca, 30, is underway in the 2022 sword killing of 21-year-old Grace Jennings; prosecutors say Apodaca never held the weapon but spent months manipulating his girlfriend, Kiara McCulley — who pleaded guilty and is testifying — into the killing by convincing her she was part of a vigilante group. Apodaca has pleaded not guilty and says he was the one manipulated. And in Lompoc, California, Ashlee Buzzard, 40, charged with murder in the death of her nine-year-old daughter Melodee Buzzard — whose remains were found in Utah in December after she was reported missing in October 2025 — was back in court; she has pleaded not guilty, and her preliminary hearing is set for September.

Charlie Kirk Case: The "95% DNA Match" Headline Is Wrong, Tyler Robinson's Hearing Ends Today, D4vd's Preliminary Date Set, and 16 Children
A four-case roundup. In Provo, Utah, the preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson — charged with aggravated murder in the September 2025 shooting of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk — reaches its final scheduled day, and Judge Tony Graf may rule on whether the case proceeds to trial. Garret Fisher explains why the widely circulated "95% DNA match" headline misdescribes FBI examiner Amanda Bakker's testimony: 95% was a mixture ratio, not a probability of identification, and the actual likelihood ratio reported from the courtroom is orders of magnitude larger. Robinson has not entered a plea; the state is seeking the death penalty. In Los Angeles, David Anthony Burke, the 21-year-old musician who records as D4vd, has a July 21st preliminary hearing date in the killing of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez; he has pleaded not guilty to all counts. In Payette, Idaho, Andrea Shaw, 23, indicted on two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her 18-month-old twins, Dallas and Tyson, asks a judge on July 14th to reduce her $2 million bond; she maintains her innocence, and the children's cause of death has not been publicly released. And in Vinton County, Ohio, one of four adults charged with sixteen counts of endangering children — after sixteen children were found living in a 12-by-12-foot room — was released on a recognizance bond because the county could not afford his hospital care. All four have pleaded not guilty. This episode discusses the deaths and abuse of children.

Prince Harry Loses His Daily Mail Case, Karmelo Anthony's Appeal Begins in the Austin Metcalf Murder, and the Angels Landing Death Reopened
A three-case roundup. In London, the High Court dismissed all 97 claims that Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, and six other claimants — including Baroness Doreen Lawrence, Sir Elton John, David Furnish, Sadie Frost, and Liz Hurley — brought against Associated Newspapers, publisher of the Daily Mail, accusing its journalists of phone hacking and unlawful information-gathering; Mr. Justice Nicklin accepted the publisher's evidence, and a key claimant witness disowned his own statement in court. Harry and Baroness Lawrence called the ruling a whitewash; the publisher called it a vindication, and costs remain to be decided. In Collin County, Texas, a new pro bono legal team for Karmelo Anthony — the 19-year-old convicted June 9th of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a track meet and sentenced to 35 years — filed a motion for a new trial (challenging courtroom access and pretrial process, not the conviction directly) and a motion to recuse Judge John Roach, who defended the verdict in televised interviews after sentencing. The conviction and sentence currently stand. And in Utah, David Vander Meer was charged with murder and insurance fraud in the 2006 death of his wife, Bernadette Vander Meer, who fell from the Angels Landing trail in Zion National Park in what was long ruled an accident; the case was reopened after a tip, but Vander Meer died in custody in Las Vegas three days after his arrest, before any trial. He was never convicted and is presumed innocent. This episode discusses suicide; in the U.S. you can call or text 988 at any time.Join our new FB groups page here.

Charlie Kirk Case: Judge Tosses Edited Video at Tyler Robinson's Hearing, the "God's Light" Cop-Killing Competency Fight, a Landlord Killer'
A three-case roundup. In Provo, Utah, the preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson — the 23-year-old charged in the September assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk — opened with Judge Tony Graf rejecting a state video exhibit that had been enhanced, zoomed, and circled by the prosecutor's office, because no one who made the edits was called to authenticate them. Robinson has not entered a plea; the hearing decides only whether the case proceeds to trial, not guilt. In Lake County, Florida, Julie Sulpizio — charged in the 2024 shooting death of Master Deputy Bradley Michael Link during what prosecutors call a planned attack on neighbors — faces a competency hearing; defense psychologists say she shifts identities and believes Lucifer directed the killings, while prosecutors argue a religious delusion is not legal incompetence. Judge Brian Welke will rule after July 17th. And in Olympia, Washington, Timothy Burke, 47, was sentenced to two life sentences without parole for murdering his landlords, chiropractor Karen and her husband Davido, during an eviction — then attempting to clean the scene, including vacuuming the blood, before dumping their bodies in the woods.

Ex-Titans Scout Blaise Taylor Guilty in Jade Benning's Poisoning, a Soldier Convicted in a Drainpipe Murder, a Councilman Set on Fire
A Nashville jury has convicted former Tennessee Titans scout Blaise Taylor, 30, of murder in the cocaine-poisoning deaths of his pregnant girlfriend, Jade Benning, and her unborn daughter, Ivy. Prosecutors said Taylor — who didn't want to be a father — slipped a lethal dose of cocaine into a drink Benning sipped in February 2023; the baby died days later and Benning died on March 6, her 25th birthday. Jurors found him guilty of second-degree murder in Benning's death, first-degree premeditated murder of the unborn child, and two counts of felony murder, and recommended life; formal sentencing is Sept. 9. Taylor maintains his innocence and plans to appeal. Also this week: an Anchorage jury convicted former Army soldier Zarrius Hildabrand of second-degree murder and evidence tampering in the death of his wife, Saria Barney, an Alaska National Guard combat medic whose body he hid in a drainpipe; jurors rejected the defense's account of how she died, and he faces 15 to 99 years at an Oct. 23 sentencing. And in Danville, Virginia, Shotsie Buck-Hayes, who pleaded guilty to dousing City Councilman Lee Vogler in gasoline and setting him on fire, was sentenced to 40 years after Judge James Reynolds went far above the guidelines, calling the case a pinnacle of human cruelty; Vogler survived.

Julio Foolio Killers Sentenced to Life, Terrion Arnold Kidnapping Charges, Carlos Mencia Tax Case
Four men who ambushed and killed Jacksonville rapper Julio Foolio — born Charles Jones, shot dead at 26 in Tampa in June 2024 — have been sentenced to life without parole: a jury convicted Isaiah Chance, Sean Gathright, and brothers Rashad and Davion Murphy of first-degree murder and declined to recommend death (Davion Murphy maintains his innocence), and co-defendant Alicia Andrews was earlier convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 15 years. Also this week: Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold, the 2024 first-round pick, pleaded not guilty to kidnapping, armed robbery, and conspiracy charges after prosecutors alleged he directed the interrogation of three men — whom they say had nothing to do with a theft — by text and livestream from off-site; he denies all allegations, is presumed innocent, and has been released by the Lions. Actor Faizon Love ("Elf") was freed after 16 days in custody in a Florida civil paternity and child-support dispute and ordered to file amended financial disclosures. And comedian Carlos Mencia pleaded not guilty to 12 felony counts alleging he failed to report $8.7 million in income over six years — the first case from the L.A.

CROWN V COLONY — Remember, Remember: How Guy Fawkes Tried to Blow Up Parliament and Became a Legend Anyway
The finale of CROWN V COLONY, and on the eve of Independence Day, Garret Fisher ends the week with a bang — literally. In 1605, a band of English Catholics packed thirty-six barrels of gunpowder into a cellar beneath the House of Lords, planning to blow King James I and the entire British government to splinters at the State Opening of Parliament. The man left to light the fuse was a Yorkshire soldier named Guy Fawkes — not the ringleader (that was Robert Catesby), but the explosives man, and the one caught red-handed in the cellar at midnight. This episode traces the desperation behind the plot — what it meant to be a Catholic under brutal persecution in Jacobean England — and why their answer was nonetheless an act of mass terror that would have killed hundreds. The anonymous Monteagle letter that gave it away, Fawkes's torture in the Tower, the conspirators' last stand, and the gruesome traitor's death he partly cheated. And how a man who failed at everything, killed no one, and blew up nothing became the most famous symbol of rebellion on earth — the perfect note to send you into the Fourth.Join our new FB groups page here.

CROWN V COLONY — Let Him Have It: How Britain Hanged 19-Year-Old Derek Bentley for a Murder He Didn't Commit
Day four of CROWN V COLONY, and the story turns. Garret Fisher leaves the killers behind for a young man who killed no one at all. On a Croydon rooftop in November 1952, 19-year-old Derek Bentley — illiterate, epileptic, with a reading age assessed at around four and a half — was already restrained by police when his 16-year-old friend Christopher Craig shot and killed Police Constable Sidney Miles, 42, a husband and father. Craig, as a juvenile, was too young to hang. Bentley was not. On the strength of five disputed words — "Let him have it, Chris," which the defense argued meant hand over the gun, and which serious doubt suggests Bentley may never have said at all — and a trial widely judged unfair, Bentley was convicted under the joint-enterprise law of the time and executed in January 1953, against his own jury's recommendation for mercy. It took 45 years and a fight carried by three generations of his family before the Court of Appeal quashed the conviction in 1998 — and the state finally admitted it had hanged an innocent man.Join our new FB groups page here.

CROWN V COLONY — The Man Who Killed for Company: How Dennis Nilsen Murdered Lonely Men Until the Drains Gave Him Up
Day three of CROWN V COLONY. Garret Fisher trades the House of Horrors for something quieter and somehow worse: a soft-spoken Scottish civil servant in a north London attic. Between 1978 and 1983, Dennis Nilsen — the "Muswell Hill Murderer" — lured at least fifteen lonely young men back to his flat and killed them, he said, so they could never leave him. He kept the remains at home. He got away with it for five years for one reason: he hunted men the world wasn't watching — the homeless, the drifting, the marginalized — and when survivors escaped and tried to report him, a homophobic era refused to believe them. It ended only when the drains at 23 Cranley Gardens backed up and a plumber found human remains. This episode traces who Nilsen was, the men he killed — including 14-year-old first victim Stephen Holmes and several who have never been identified to this day — and the survivors, Douglas Stewart, Paul Nobbs, and Carl Stottor, who finally took the witness stand at his 1983 Old Bailey trial and were believed. Nilsen was convicted of six murders and two attempted murders, given a whole-life order, and died in prison in 2018.Join our new FB groups page here.

CROWN V COLONY — The House of Horrors: How Fred and Rose West Turned a Gloucester Home Into a Graveyard
Day two of CROWN V COLONY. Garret Fisher leaves the gaslight of Whitechapel for something more modern and somehow darker: an ordinary terraced house at 25 Cromwell Street, Gloucester, where Fred and Rose West murdered at least twelve women and girls across twenty years — including their own daughter Heather, 16, and Fred's stepdaughter Charmaine, 8. The bodies were found beneath the cellar, the bathroom, and the garden. A grim family joke about being "buried under the patio" is what finally brought police to dig in 1994. This episode traces how the Wests targeted vulnerable young women nobody was reliably watching, the 1972 warning the system fined and let walk, and the reckoning: Fred hanged himself on remand in 1995 before he ever faced trial, while Rose was convicted of ten murders at Winchester Crown Court and given a whole-life order. Thirty years on, she still insists she is innocent — and police believe the true toll may be higher than the twelve who can be named, including 15-year-old Mary Bastholm, still missing.Join our new FB groups page here.

CROWN V COLONY — Jack the Ripper: The Killer London Never Caught, and the Five Women History Forgot
Independence Day week begins where the whole genre began. Garret Fisher launches CROWN V COLONY — five days of the United Kingdom's most notorious crimes — in the gaslit fog of Whitechapel, 1888. Over roughly ten weeks of terror, a killer the newspapers christened Jack the Ripper murdered five women in London's East End: Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly — the "canonical five." This episode walks through the Autumn of Terror, the split-jurisdiction investigation led by Inspector Frederick Abberline, the taunting "Dear Boss" and "From Hell" letters most experts now believe were hoaxes, the bloody Goulston Street graffiti that police scrubbed away before it could be photographed, and the century of suspects from a Polish barber to a member of the royal family. It also takes on the disputed 2007 shawl DNA claim naming Aaron Kosminski — and the descendants now fighting for a new inquest. But the real subject isn't the killer. It's the five women history decided to forget.Join our new FB groups page here. Take the poll!Join the Daily Crime & Justice community on social media!

Marilyn Monroe: The Kennedys, the FBI Files, and the Doctors Who Had Her on a Lethal Cocktail (Part 2 of 2)
Part two of the centennial investigation goes into the deep water. If Marilyn Monroe's 1962 death wasn't the simple suicide the coroner signed off on, then what was it? Garret Fisher walks through the theories the new Fox/TMZ special leans into — the rumored affairs with President John F. Kennedy and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, the heavily redacted FBI surveillance files investigator Paul Holes wants unsealed, J. Edgar Hoover, the organized-crime theories, and the claim that Monroe may not have even died at home — and labels each one honestly as unproven rumor. But the thread that actually holds up requires no conspiracy at all: the two physicians, psychiatrist Ralph Greenson and internist Hyman Engelberg, who had a vulnerable, isolated woman on a dangerous combination of barbiturates and chloral hydrate, and a 1962 system that never held anyone to account. The 1982 LA District Attorney review found no credible evidence of foul play — and also never cleared the original investigation. Sixty-four years of suspicion, and the one question this saga can finally answer.This episode references suicide.

Marilyn Monroe Died in the Most Watched House in America — and No One Secured the Scene (Part 1 of 2)
Part one of a two-part centennial investigation. Marilyn Monroe — born Norma Jeane Mortenson 100 years ago this month — was found dead in her Brentwood home on August 4, 1962, and within hours the most famous woman in the world was ruled a "probable suicide" by barbiturate overdose. Garret Fisher walks through the night: the housekeeper, the hours that vanished before police were called at 4:30 a.m., the first officer who thought the body looked too composed, and Thomas Noguchi's autopsy. Then to 2026, where a new Fox/TMZ special, Celebrity Crime Scene: Marilyn Monroe, uses AI to rebuild the barely-photographed death scene — and retired cold-case investigator Paul Holes, who helped identify the Golden State Killer, lays out his red flags: pristine sheets, a neatly arranged empty Nembutal bottle, no water glass, and a broken window with the glass on the wrong side. The argument that holds up isn't a murder conspiracy — it's that the 1962 investigation was a shambles that left every question open.This episode references suicide.

George Pino ACQUITTED in the Birthday Boat Crash That Killed Lucy Fernandez, an Atlanta Bartender ID'd by His Tattoos, Beach Parents Walk
Garret Fisher covers three cases. In Miami, a six-person jury has found George Pino not guilty of manslaughter and vessel homicide in the 2022 Biscayne Bay boat crash that killed 17-year-old Luciana "Lucy" Fernandez and left passenger Katerina "Katy" Puig, now 21, permanently disabled; the jury deliberated under two hours. Pino is legally acquitted on both counts — and the Puig family and State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle both pointed to the same lasting problem: Pino was never given a sobriety test or blood draw the night of the crash, a failure the family says compromised the case from the start. In Douglas County, Georgia, Mario Barber, 46, and Brittany Baker, 42, have each been charged with murder in the death of 37-year-old Atlanta bartender Jamal Parker, whose remains were recovered from the Dog River Reservoir and identified by his tattoos; both have pleaded not guilty and are held without bond, and authorities have not said how, or whether, they knew Parker. And in Walton County, Florida, Texas couple Brian and Sara Wilks have entered a deferred prosecution agreement over child-neglect charges after their 6-month-old was found alone on Miramar Beach; the charges will be dropped if they complete its terms.

Ex-Titans Scout Blaise Taylor on Trial in Jade Benning's Poisoning Death, a Teen Killer Out of Appeals, a Sidewalk-Push Murder Charge
Garret Fisher covers three cases. In Nashville, jury selection has begun in the first-degree and felony murder trial of Blaise Taylor, a former Tennessee Titans pro scout accused of secretly poisoning his pregnant girlfriend, Jade Benning, in February 2023; Benning's unborn daughter died days later, and Benning herself died on March 6 — her 25th birthday. He has pleaded not guilty, the defense is contesting the forensic evidence, and the state is seeking life without parole. In Cape Coral, Florida, Thomas Stein — convicted of felony murder and three counts of attempted murder in the 2024 shooting death of 15-year-old Kayla Rincon-Miller during an attempted robbery — has had his motion for a new trial denied; he faces a mandatory life sentence at his July 10 sentencing. And in Miami, Jacob Kohlhas, 72, charged with second-degree murder in the death of 65-year-old Alisa Toth, who died after he allegedly pushed her on a public sidewalk, is asking a judge to bar the charge on speedy-trial grounds, arguing prosecutors filed it after the clock had run.

George Pino's Birthday Boat-Crash Trial Goes to the Jury in Lucy Fernandez's Death, the Fight Before the Lindsay Clancy Trial, a Killer Dog
Garret Fisher covers three cases, each turning on a warning that came first. In Miami, the manslaughter and vessel-homicide trial of George Pino, 55, goes to the jury today after both sides rested — Pino is accused of recklessly piloting his boat into a Biscayne Bay channel marker in 2022, killing 17-year-old Luciana "Lucy" Fernandez and severely injuring another teen, Katerina "Katy" Puig, during his daughter's birthday celebration. He has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent, maintaining the crash was an accident. In Essex, Vermont, Janna Campbell, 43, has pleaded not guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the March death of her 76-year-old father, Stephen Campbell, who had dementia and was mauled by her pit bull — a dog the town had already formally labeled dangerous after prior attacks. And in Plymouth, Massachusetts, a final pretrial hearing has set the stage for the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, 35, charged in the 2023 strangulation deaths of her three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan; Clancy does not deny the killings but argues she was not criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis. Jury selection is set for July 20.This episode touches on the deaths of children and on suicide.

Diddy Lawsuit Tossed as a Judge Calls the Claims "Odious," Anna Kepner's Stepbrother Jailed Until Trial, Tiger Woods DUI Records Fight
Garret Fisher runs through four updates. In New York, a federal judge has dismissed singer Dawn Richard's civil suit against Sean "Diddy" Combs — not on the merits, but because the statute of limitations had run out; Judge Katherine Polk Failla called the alleged conduct "indisputably odious" while ruling 17 of 18 claims time-barred, leaving one gender-motivated-violence claim that Richard may refile in state court. Combs remains imprisoned on his prostitution-transportation convictions and is appealing. In the Anna Kepner case, a federal magistrate judge has ordered her 16-year-old stepbrother, Timothy Hudson — charged as an adult with first-degree murder and aggravated sexual abuse in the 2025 cruise-ship death of the 18-year-old — held in custody until his September trial, citing the danger the charges describe. Hudson has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent; the order concerns risk, not guilt. In the Tiger Woods DUI case, prosecutors are seeking the golfer's hospital treatment records from the day of his March crash, after he refused chemical testing at the scene; he has pleaded not guilty, with a July 7 hearing set. And in Miami, the George Pino boat-crash trial has turned to the defense, with survivors of the 2022 crash that killed 17-year-old Lucy Fernandez testifying for the man who was driving; Pino has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent.Join our new FB groups page here.

Gilgo Beach, Finally: Rex Heuermann Sentenced to Life Without Parole as 8 Families Face Him
Garret Fisher closes the book on Gilgo Beach. After nearly three years of silence, Rex Heuermann — the 62-year-old Long Island architect who murdered eight women between 1993 and 2010 — was sentenced Wednesday in a Suffolk County courtroom to three consecutive life sentences without parole, followed by four more consecutive terms of 25 years to life. There is no parole anywhere in the sentence; he will die in prison. Judge Timothy Mazzei called him "a disgusting and small man," and District Attorney Ray Tierney dismissed his remorse as self-serving — "he is very sorry he got caught." But the day belonged to the families of Sandra Costilla, Valerie Mack, Jessica Taylor, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Amber Costello, and Karen Vergata, who one by one stood and took the courtroom away from the man who tried to make them invisible. Heuermann spoke for about ten seconds; the families spoke for all eight women. This episode covers the sentence, the prosecution's "shopping list for murder" planning document, and the victim-impact statements that gave these women back their voices.Join our new FB groups page here.

"Black Widow" Mother-in-Law Sentenced in the Family Trap Murder, a "Hit List" Killer Convicted in Under an Hour, the Boat-Crash Trial
Garret Fisher covers three cases. In Provo, Utah, Tracey Grist, 61, has been sentenced to consecutive terms — which the judge said should keep her imprisoned for life — after being convicted of masterminding the "family trap" killing of her son-in-law, Matthew Restelli, 42, who was lured to her home and shot by her son under the pretense of picking up his wife and children. In Waukesha, Wisconsin, Kevin "Conrad" Lychwick, 63, who represented himself and kept handwritten "operations" naming his victim, has been convicted of first-degree intentional homicide and hiding a corpse in the death of his neighbor, Carlos Maldonado, 56 — the jury deliberated under an hour, and a 1939 Luger in Lychwick's trunk was ballistically matched to the killing. He faces a mandatory life sentence at an August hearing. And in Miami, the prosecution has rested in the manslaughter and vessel-homicide trial of George Pino, 56, accused in the 2022 Biscayne Bay boat crash that killed 17-year-old Lucy Fernandez on the ride home from his daughter's birthday party; the defense case is next.

Garret Fisher covers three cases involving child victims, all defendants presumed innocent. In Idaho, the first-degree murder and kidnapping case against Stacey Wondra, 33, in the 2021 disappearance of 5-year-old Michael "Monkey" Vaughan — whose body has never been found — has been moved from Payette County to Canyon County, with trial set for September 14. In Indianapolis, Toni McClure, 31, is set to stand trial June 22 on charges of murder, criminal confinement, and battery in the death of her 5-year-old daughter, Kinsleigh Welty, who died in April 2024; her boyfriend and her mother have already pleaded guilty to neglect resulting in death. And in Tampa, Brianna Moore, 21, a former University of Tampa student charged with aggravated manslaughter and related counts in the death of her newborn daughter, asks a judge to modify her bond ahead of a November trial — a case in which the court has already ruled key text messages inadmissible.

Adam Montgomery's Murder Conviction in Harmony's Death OVERTURNED, a "Spellcaster" Trial in Maya Millete's Disappearance, a Soldier's Bride
Garret Fisher covers three cases. In New Hampshire, the state Supreme Court has reversed Adam Montgomery's second-degree murder conviction in the death of his 5-year-old daughter, Harmony Montgomery, ruling the trial judge improperly joined the murder charge with a separate assault charge — a procedural reversal, not a finding of innocence. Montgomery remains incarcerated on his other convictions (second-degree assault, abuse of a corpse, falsifying evidence, witness tampering) plus prior weapons charges, and the state may retry him. In San Diego, Larry Millete, 44, is on trial for the first-degree murder of his wife, Maya Millete, 39, who vanished in January 2021 and has never been found; jurors are hearing about hundreds of pages of messages prosecutors say he sent to online "spellcasters" to control her. He has pleaded not guilty. And in Anchorage, Army soldier Zarrius Hildabrand, 24, is on trial in the death of his bride, Saria Barney, whose body was found hidden in a drainpipe behind their apartment; her mother testified about his behavior in the days after Saria vanished. He has pleaded not guilty, and the trial resumes today.This episode references suicide.

GUILTY in the "Tooth in the Ashes," an OnlyFans Sentencing in a Fatal Fetish Death, a Father on Trial for a Birthday Boat Crash
Garret Fisher covers three cases. In Wisconsin, a Dodge County jury has convicted Zachariah Rasch, 44, of first-degree intentional homicide and a corpse-related count in the death of his estranged wife, Crystal Rasch, 37 — the case known as the "tooth in the ashes," after a tooth and skull fragments matched to her were found in a burn pit on his property. He claimed she shot herself; the jury rejected it in about two hours. Sentencing is set for July 21. In Vista, California, OnlyFans creator Michaela Rylaarsdam has been sentenced to four years in county jail after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the suffocation death of Michael Dale, 55, who repeatedly asked her to stop during a paid fetish encounter. And in Miami, George Pino, 55, stands trial for manslaughter and vessel homicide in the 2022 Biscayne Bay boat crash that killed 17-year-old Lucy Fernandez at his daughter's birthday party; he has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent as the trial continues.If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988 in the U.S. for free, confidential support.Join our new FB groups page here.

Nick Reiner Wants $1.5M From the Trust to Fight His Parents' Murder Charge, a New Child-Actor Lawsuit Against Diddy, and Boat Crash Trial
Three cases today, and money runs through all of them. In Los Angeles, Nick Reiner — the thirty-two-year-old charged with stabbing his own parents to death, the filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michele — has gone to court asking a judge to hand him more than a million and a half dollars from a trust fund, so he can pay for the lawyer he wants to defend him against the charge that he killed the people who set that trust up for him. Also back in the news from behind bars: Sean Combs, the rapper known as Diddy, hit this week with a brand-new lawsuit from a man who says Combs sexually assaulted him in 2007 when he was a working child actor — even as prosecutors in Los Angeles decide whether to charge Combs in a separate case.
